Abstract

RESUMO Os autores apresentam um caso de infestação presumida do globo ocular humano por larva de mosca. Foi caracterizado pela migração da larva através do espaço sub-retiniano, produzindo alterações oftal-moscópicas e angiofluoresceínicas que se acredita serem secundárias à oftalmomiíase intra-ocular sub-retiniana. SUMMARY One case of presumed infestation of the human ocular globe by a fly’s larva is presented It was characterized by migration of the maggot through the subretinal space, producing widespread ophthalmoscopic and fluorescein angiographic changes that are believed to be secundary of subretinal intraocular ophthalmomyiasis.

Abstract

Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes, the presence of retinopathy is associated with increased cardiovascular disease, regardless of known risk factors for vascular disease., Objective: To investigate the association of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its grades with the presence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in patients with type 1 diabetes., Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 type 1 diabetes individuals asymptomatic for coronary artery disease. They underwent clinical evaluation for microvascular complications and for the presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC)., Results: Severe forms of DR (severe non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR) were associated with CAC (OR: 3.98 95% CI 1.13-13.9, p = 0.03), regardless of known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (age, A1C, hypertension, dyslipidemia and male gender)., Conclusion: Patients with severe forms of DR are at risk for the presence of coronary artery disease regardless of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of chronic vascular complications and associated factors in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM)., Methods: Cross sectional study with type 1 DM patients attending the Endocrine Division, Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre. Patients were evaluated for presence of chronic vascular complications., Results: We evaluated 573 patients, mean age of 33 years. The presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) was observed in 43.3%, diabetes duration [OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.11, P <0001], the presence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) [OR: 3.40; CI 95%: 1.89 to 6.13, P <0001] and hypertension (HPT) [OR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.16 to 3.87, P = 0014] were associated with DR. The DN was present in 34.5% and was associated with HPT [OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.16 to 3.21, P = 0001] and total cholesterol [OR: 1.0, 95% CI: 1.0-1.01, P = 0.05]. Seven patients had macrovascular disease. Only 22% achieved an A1c of <7.0%. HPT was 33% and 48% had levels <130/80 mm Hg and 45% of patients had values for LDL> 100 mg/dl., Conclusion: We observed a high prevalence of microvascular complications and HPT. Duration of DM, HPT and presence of DN were associated with DR. HPT and dyslipidemia were associated with DN. Most patients did not meet the desired glycemic control, blood pressure and lipid targets. Greater efforts are needed to intensify the pressure and metabolic control of patients with type 1 DM.
